An orbital polarization (Hund`s second rule) correction to local spin density (LSD) theory is developed in both a spherical harmonic basis and in a crystal field basis, and applied to the electronic band structure of FeO, CoO, NiO, and La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4}, resulting in a substantial enhancement of the LSD insulating band gap for NiO, and the creation of insulating band gaps for FeO, CoO, and La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4}.
